    Hey Gil,

    I'm glad you were able to get on the mountain and get a run in. You're a great Dad.

    My wife had to have surgery for one of her elbows. The surgery was done as an outpatient with monitored anesthesia, i.e. IV meds for pain but she was still awake.

    Only having one arm done at a time was a very good move. Having both arms out of commission at one time is awful. Even though I am married, there are certain things I just would not want even my wife to do if you catch my drift.
    Low back pain became somewhat dehabilitating in 2005
    Have had 11 steroid injections, IDET, Trial for nerve stimulator, PT, chiropractic trial, practically every med known to mankind. Discogram indicated three diseased levels with L5-S1 being the most likely pain generator. Post minimally invasive PLIF with internal fixation (titanium) on 12-28-09 of L5-S1. Doing better than expected. Last opioid 7/9/10. Five months pain free, then my neck turned against me. MRI on 12/1/10-- disease at C2 to C7. Only surgical alternative is to fuse entire C-spine. Diagnosed now with Aggressive Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis with cord & brainstem active lesions

    I emailed Gil the other day. He said he is on the mend and that the surgery went well--he also said that he is no longer on pain meds.
